Hi X-Men,

Thanks for the fabulous support!

I’m having a problem with my menu bar. As I make the window smaller it get to a stage that the menus drop to below the navbar before it jumps into the nav button.

PLease see pic to see what I mean.

How can i fix this?

Thanks,
Werner

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in! You can add this under Custom > CSS in the Customizer.

@media only screen and (min-width: 980px) and (max-width: 1070px) {
.x-navbar .desktop .x-nav > li > a:not(.x-btn-navbar-woocommerce) {
  padding-left: 10px;
  padding-right: 10px;
}
}

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Good Day X-Men,

I added another menu item to my navbar and then I get the same problem as described above. I tried editing the solution I received earlier, but I can’t get it right.

Can you please help me with this problem again?

Thanks,
Werner

Hey there,

Thanks for writing in! This particular situation is simply a matter of reworking your content to properly fit the physical limitations presented by the theme (this is a consideration that must be taken into account with all themes and designs). It is the same principal applied to filling up a room with furniture—there is only so much that can fit into a given space. The following should be considered in these situations:

• Logo Size – longer logos will conflict with navigation items as you size your site down. If you are noticing a conflict, you may need to implement some CSS to size down your logo as viewports get smaller.
• Shorter Names – you should always shoot to have your top-level navigation links be as simple as possible. For example, if your link is “Learn About My Company,” Try using “About” instead. It conveys the same idea and will save you a ton of real estate.
• Rearrange – sometimes we want to put all of our links in the top-level navigation, but not all pages are created equally. Pages of lesser importance that pertain to a parent link might work well as a sub-menu instead.
• Less Links – even on more “complex” websites with lots of pages, there are always ways to combine information together to make things simpler, which also ensures that your user doesn’t have to click around for every granular piece of information. For example, you might have two top-level links called “About” and “Contact,” which could possibly be combined into one. This eliminates the need for extra links and makes things much simpler for your users to navigate. Less is more in information architecture.
• Appearance – fortunately X features plenty of options for adjusting the appearance of elements throughout your site, and the navbar is one of the more flexible elements. Try using a smaller font size if possible to save on a little real estate.

Thanks!
